Capacity Pass-Through Energy Plans for Enterprise Businesses

Fixed rate with capacity pass-through plans offer enterprises greater control over their business energy costs. Discover if this plan is the right cost-saving solution for your organization.

What is Capacity Passthrough Pricing? 

Capacity pass-through plans lock in a fixed supply rate while separating capacity charges from the energy price. Instead of being bundled into your rate, capacity costs are passed directly through at market value.
